Some late gifts from "Santa"

[luigi164]

Got these items from the US last days. Will make my Newport a bit more prettier I think.
Specially the console is very nice, pricey but nice... ánd exactly the right color..

I'm getting the Direct Connection Redeye Challenger performance upgrade kits 1 & 2 as soon as they are actually available.

I also just received the FOB security notifications for my Redeye and Scat Pack. I have the option to have additional FOB's created for both cars (at my expense) because once the security update (Stellantis paid) is applied no one including the dealer can reproduce FOB's anymore.

Do you mean to say that you have to get additional keys made "just in case" because if you lose them later on then you're on your own?

Once the security update is programmed into the FOB module in the car.....no FOB's will be able to be made by anyone.

No....it means you will have to replace the FOB module in the car for the dealer to make FOB's. I have no idea what the cost of that is.

Kind of funny how technology has made new cars less secure.

I have had the Redeye and the Scat Pack for over 2 years now and I haven't lost a FOB yet. I also have a 2018 Longhorn Southfork Ram for over 3 years and haven't lost a FOB for the truck either.
.
The Redeye comes with 2 Red Fob's and 1 black valet FOB. The Scat Pack & Ram comes with 2 FOB's.

I don't believe I have a need for any extra FOB's.

New car key. fobs aside, is that from cup holders plus? If so, how is the quality?

Back in the 1990s or so, there were some Toyota/Lexus cars that had titanium keys. Not duplicatable on the normal key machines/grinders. A lost key was about $1200.00 as the whole security system/key cyls had to be replaced. Seems like Nissan/Infinity had some like that too?

I discovered a few months ago that one of our (new) Corvette customers purchased an insurance policy to pay for lost key fobs. I guess it was a GM extended warranty deal? Not sure, didn't ask, just orchestrated getting them a new fob and they got it programmed. They were happy!

Not sure how or why later model Chrylser vehicles seem to be more stealable due to their advanced electronic security systems. By people who know the system and tend to have a dealership-person connection to get the codes, as I understand it.

Just some thoughts,

Yes the console is from Cup Holders plus, one of the many sellers. Made by Classic Consoles, the vendor. I purchased this one from a Ebay seller JoltParts cause this was the cheapest way to ship it to NL
Quality is very good !

Very good... I saw an early Barracuda like mine with a console from them and it looks like it belonged there, something that doesn't always happen.

And this is how it looks in de car, I'm very satisfied with it.
